Are these Puffer eggs?

After cleaning out the tank i noticed this and initially thought it was a snail, but on closer inspection it looks like a blob of jelly containing black dots.

So are these likely to be my Dwarf Puffers eggs or maybe my Bumble Bee Gobbies?

Thanks!

possibly if they are encased in the gel sac, but it looks like air bubbles or "pearling" when the plant releases the O2 into the water.
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...
